Let’s go through each picture one by one and say the name of the object. Then we’ll pick the sound it contains from the two options given.
---
1. Rain (cloud with raindrops)
Say: “rain” → has the
“ai” sound.
→ Tick:
ai
2. Soap (bar of soap on a dish)
Say: “soap” → has the
“oa” sound.
→ Tick:
oa
3. Queen (woman wearing a crown)
Say: “queen” → has the
“ue” sound? Wait — actually, “queen” is pronounced /kween/, which uses the
“ee” sound (like in “see”). The “ue” here makes the long E sound. But looking at the options: “ee” or “ui”. Since “queen” sounds like “quee-n”, it’s the
“ee” sound.
→ Tick:
ee
*(Note: Sometimes “ue” can make different sounds, but in “queen”, it’s clearly the long E /ee/ sound.)*
4. Glue (bottle labeled “glue”)
Say: “glue” → has the
“ue” sound (pronounced /loo/, same as “blue”, “true”).
→ Tick:
ue
5. Rainbow
Say: “rainbow” → first part “rain” has
“ai”, second part “bow” has
“ow”. The options are “ow” and “ie”. So we pick
“ow” because “bow” ends with that sound.
→ Tick:
ow
6. Tray (flat tray)
Say: “tray” → has the
“ay” sound.
→ Tick:
ay
7. Kangaroo (with joey)
Say: “kangaroo” → ends with “roo”, which has the
“oo” sound (like “moon”, “spoon”).
→ Tick:
oo
8. Leaf
Say: “leaf” → has the
“ea” sound (long E, like “beach”, “sea”).
→ Tick:
ea
9. Arrow (pointing right)
Say: “arrow” → starts with “ar-”, but the whole word is /ˈær.oʊ/. The ending “row” has the
“ow” sound (like “cow”, “how”).
→ Tick:
ow
10. Seal (animal)
Say: “seal” → has the
“ea” sound (long E).
→ Tick:
ea
11. Cookie
Say: “cookie” → has the
“oo” sound (short oo, like “book”, “look”) OR sometimes people think of “coo-kie” — still “oo”. Options are “oo” and “oa”. Definitely
“oo”.
→ Tick:
oo
12. Pie
Say: “pie” → has the
“ie” sound (long I, like “tie”, “lie”).
